DESCRIPTION:Summary: A review of the literature related to the problem of grain related entrapments and engulfments clearly suggests that the most effective response is to focus on rescuing workers once entrapped. The evidence shows that this approach is both inconsistent with the data and has generated little progress in reducing the frequency and severity of these incidents. After summarizing over 1\,200 of these incidents\, of which approximately 60% resulted in fatalities\, the findings clearly show that the problem is not entrapment due to the flowing grain\, but rather the documented presence of out-of-condition or spoiled grain that becomes a barrier to removal of grain from storage. Though not as popular as conducting a grain rescue class for emergency first responders\, enhancing the knowledge and skills of grain producers to maintain high quality grain will not only reduce entrapment incidents\, but will improve profitability for the producer. This webinar will address the well documented relationship between the presence of out-of-condition grain and the increased probability of grain-related entrapment. Methods for safe removal of out-of-condition grain will also be addressed. \nIntended Audience: Agricultural safety and health professionals\, emergency first responders\, agricultural workers\, grain storage and handling personnel \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nIdentifythe most signifigant causes of grain-related entrapement including out-of-condition grain\nDiscuss the need to focus on preventative measures rather than emergency first response strategies \nExplain strategies for removing out-of-condition grain in a safe manner \n\nPresenter: Bill Field\, PhD\, Professor\, Purdue University\, Extension Safety Leader\, Purdue Cooperative Extension Service \n  \n Watch the Recording Here \n  \n\nContinuing Education: The University of Cincinnati\, Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences\, Education and Research Center offers 1.0 contact hours for this activity.

The presentation will identify trends\, common causes\, and effective preventive measures for these hazardous conditions. Through a detailed examination of these records\, the webinar provides critical insights into the factors contributing to oxygen deficiency\, dangers within confined spaces\, and the presence of toxic fumes in workplaces. The findings highlight the importance of targeted safety interventions to protect workers’ health and enhance workplace safety. Key trends and preventive strategies will be discussed to help industries implement effective measures against these hazards.  \nIntended Audience: Safety and Health Professionals\, Industrial and Manufacturing Managers\, Regulatory Compliance Officers\, Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Consultants\, Emergency Responders\, Human Resources Professionals\, Labor Union Representatives \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nIdentify Common Causes of Confined Space Hazards: Explain what the OSHA definition of “confined space” is\, and what further actions may be required to evaluate a confined space for potential hazards to determine if the space is a “permit-required confined space” (PRCS). Explain the difference between what OSHA requires for a “confined space” versus a PRCS. Understand the primary factors leading to oxygen deficiency\, confined space hazards\, and toxic fume exposure based on the analysis of the OSHA Accident Database. \nRecognize Trends and Patterns: Learn about the trends and patterns in incidents related to these hazardous conditions over the past decade\, enabling better anticipation and prevention of such events in various industries. Be able to explain common scenarios of how each of those three low oxygen situations may arise (from the OSHA Accident database records).  \nImplement Preventive Measures: Gain knowledge of effective strategies and preventive measures that can be implemented to mitigate the risks associated with oxygen deficiency\, confined spaces\, and toxic fumes\, thereby enhancing workplace safety. \nImprove Safety Protocols: Discover how to use the insights from the OSHA Accident Database to refine and improve existing safety protocols and training programs within your organization to protect workers’ health. \n\nPresenters:  \nChiemezie Anthony Udemba\, MS\, Ohio State University  \nJerry Purswell\, PhD\, Colorado State University-Pueblo  \n  \n Watch the Recording Here \n  \n\nContinuing Education: The University of Cincinnati\, Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences\, Education and Research Center offers 1.0 contact hours for this activity.

The program works on both sides of the issue by promoting a zero-entry mentality and then working with agribusiness to provide Grain Rescue tubes and training to Fire departments across the country. Since 2014 we have delivered 207 Grain rescue tubes in 31 States and this year will be adding 58 Rescue tubes.
